I met this sweet family at a recent wedding where they told me they really needed some family photos so a few weeks later we set up an early morning family session near their home in North Vancouver.

We decided to walk down to the beach where 4 year old Bowie, in true Labrador style, was super excited to chase sticks (enormous sticks!) and rocks into the water and give us a good shower every time he emerged :) I'd been hoping for some pretty morning light but we got this beautiful atmospheric mist instead. In typical Vancouver fashion we had a rain shower mid-session which was actually pretty amazing and we had the privilege of getting quite close to a blue heron before flying off. Such a great morning with these lovely people :)
